Drink Du Jour: Green Smoothie

8:04 AM

Everyone knows greens are good for you, and it seems a lot of people are forsaking the scrambled eggs or cereal for breakfast and starting the day with a lean, green smoothie. Am I the only one not on the juicing bandwagon these days? It just seems like a whole new expensive piece of kitchen equipment I won't really use all that much, so I like that this recipe is blender-friendly. My friend Becca did a 'green drink' cleanse a few weeks ago, and she nearly gagged every time she took a sip of her liquid concoction. Apparently the kale and lemon made for one extremely bitter, nasty drink. I believe it 100%. This recipe looks like it has plenty of naturally sweet stuff in it....should make sipping and slimming down a whole lot more enjoyable. Another bonus of this recipe? The carotenoids found in kale are the bomb diggity for your skin...prepare to get glowing.

I taking these smothies for a month and I feeling great, lost a few pounds and I have a lot more energy. I love your recipe, it's quite similiar to mine and I always looking for a change of flavours. My recipe: spinach, kale, mint, lettuce, apple, pear, lime juice, banana and a little water.
